    Pentair Compool Power Controller LX220 actuates valve for solar, but deactivates a minute later??

    I hear you about good money after bad. This effort I’m making now is my last ditch attempt to getting the system back to working on “automatic,” which will thrill me, if I can get it to work. It’s possible that sometime in the future we’ll make the Great Leap Forward. I do thank you very much...

    Pentair Compool Power Controller LX220 actuates valve for solar, but deactivates a minute later??

    Hi, AJW22, Okay, now I’m really making myself a bit crazy. I’m shopping online for a TS-5T temp sensor, assuming that my rooftop sensor is the likely culprit, but it occurs to me that as I was rebuilding our system last year, I didn’t pay real close attention to the sensor I used for water...

    Hi, AJW22, Actually came across our old Lx220 SOLAR CONTROL SYSTEM Installation & Operating Instructions which indicates the original part used was a “TS-ST Temperature Sensor,“ so I’ll shop for that.

    Pentair Compool Power Controller LX220 actuates valve for solar, but deactivates a minute later??

    Thank you for this suggestion! I’m going to try to do this. I’m not very gifted technically and don’t really know my way around the use of a multimeter, though I own several I inherited from my Dad who was an electronic wiz! (Skipped a generation with me, I’m afraid.) Do you know what triggers...

    Pentair Compool Power Controller LX220 actuates valve for solar, but deactivates a minute later??

    Hi, looking for advice. You guys have been great with guidance before. Recently our LX220 seems to get the signal that it’s reached the temp at which to open the valve so pool water gets pumped to our black collectors on our roof, but it seems that only a minute or two after the valve is...
